dahlia_moon♦ a really cool Smallville census wherein there are cool pie charts and numbers concerning all the characters that came and went through Smallville in its decade. really awesome and I'd recommend a look if you're into numbers and stats and such. :D
♣ Y'know how you stumble onto something in life - like a certain hobby, or person, or expectation - and then you find out it's really not how you thought it was? I don't mean to be deliberately vague but this is hard for me to put into words, but I thought, what with this being the modern age and everything, that this sort of thing shouldn't happen. And that is DC ignoring its female readers. There's a Tumblr I've come to recently follow that says it much better than I could ever put into words, but to actually know that a major publisher of comics isn't really trying to target you as their readers? (by which I mean females like me) is just really shocking, to say the least. I think between Marvel and DC vying for my money, I'll gladly let Marvel win (even if they end up being like DC and totally ignoring their female readers as well). DC Comics to female readers: we’re just not that into you

ribbon_purple is hosting a low-pressure Stargate (Atlantis, SG-1, or SGU) badfic challenge. As far as I know, you can write any badfic your mind can come up with and stories/graphics will be due July 21. So, if you're fan of writing intentional badfics and Stargate, take a look, yeah?
▲ Still trying to get into a good writing groove, which seems to have...vanished mysteriously for me someplace, which is particularly vexing because I have fic deadlines here, y'know, muse. I think Tumblr is all to blame because that site seriously sucks all the time into some space vacuum where twelve hours go by and you've done nothing but liked/reblogged a thousand pictures. Which is not to say that site isn't awesome or anything and I love it - as I think it's a particularly good way for a budding comics fan to really get involved in the fandom and expand on it - but dude, such a time waster. Alas, that could be said for the whole invention of the Internet - it can make you smarter and expand your horizons if you've lived a sheltered life, but on the con side, makes you waste a whole day doing nothing useful.

Date: 2011-06-27 03:43 pm (UTC)Thanks for the friends rec but, honestly, I'd feel kinda not OK friending Laurence as I don't interact with him as much as I do with you...I'm sure Laurence is an awesome person and if he's friends with you then he must be, but I'm kinda trying to just add people I know I've interacted with at least in some way on FB - doesn't necessarily have to be real life. Hope you understand. :D
(sorry I'm just now answering this comment - I kinda avoided LJ altogether last week because it was taking a really, really long time to load on Firefox, and I wasn't getting anything done and it just wasn't worth the aggravation. Then I remembered I had installed Chrome a while back and coupled with Tumblr going wonky on me now, I've decided to use Chrome for browsing LJ and Tumblr because it's just less painful, y'know?)
